Cubic Centimeter per Second per Square Centimeter (cm³/(s·cm²))
The cubic centimetre per second per square centimetre, cm³/(s·cm²), is the SI result unit of ASTM D737 air permeability. It is exactly 1 cm/s and 0.01 m/s.
Symbol: cm³/(s·cm²) (ASCII: cm3/s/cm2)
Quantity: face velocity and air permeability (volumetric flow per unit area)
SI relation: 1 cm³/(s·cm²) = 0.01 m/s (exact)
Derivation: 1 cm³/(s·cm²) = 10⁻⁶ m³ ÷ (10⁻⁴ m² × 1 s) = 0.01 m/s = 1 cm/s
Exact: yes, by definition
Same quantity as centimeter per second (cm/s) , milliliter per second per square centimeter (mL/(s·cm²)) : the factor between them is exactly 1.
Typical uses
- ASTM D737 fabric air permeability (SI reporting)
- Nonwovens, paper and filter media datasheets
- Comparing results with Frazier CFM/ft² (1 cm³/(s·cm²) ≈ 1.9685 CFM/ft²)
